Suncor-wide

This 2013 Report on Sustainability outlines Suncor's performance in 2012, and provides a five-year performance trend where possible. All significant data changes in 2009 as compared to 2008 are primarily due to the 2009 merger of Petro-Canada and Suncor Energy Inc.; whereby all data reported is from the combined company facilities for the full 2009 reporting year. Historic data from 2008 is not included from Petro-Canada.

Suncor's 2009 and 2010 data marks the first years where Suncor can compare year over year data since the merger. The 2013 Report on Sustainability includes consolidated social, environmental and economic data.

All 2012 economic figures have been calculated according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Where indicated with an asterix (*), some 2010 figures have been restated to reflect IFRS in line with Suncor's 2012 annual report(PDF, 139 pp., 776 KB).

The economic data from 2009 and previous years has been calculated using the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Sustainability reports net production on a facility basis, which is a measure of total saleable product.

Air emissions

Footnote D: Emissions from the production of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, ethanol and refined products. Emissions are also from the production of retail products at the Mississauga, Ont. Lubricants facility. Emissions from product consumption by others are not included. All significant air emission increases from 2008 are due to the 2009 merger of Petro-Canada and Suncor Energy whereby all emissions reported are from the combined company facilities. All significant changes in intensity are also due to the combination of assets from the merger of Suncor Energy and Petro-Canada.

Beginning in 2011, the Indirect Energy calculation methodology was changed to credit operations for electricity exported to external users and/or other Suncor facilities.

FF

Rates of absenteeism, lost days, and occupational disease are tracked but not reported by Suncor.

GG

Lost-time injury requires medical attention and results in an employee being absent from work on the next regularly scheduled work day or any subsequent work day. Lost-time injury frequency is the number of such injuries per 200,000 hours worked.

HH

Recordable injuries include lost-time injuries as well as medical aid injuries. Medical aid injuries require medical attention but do not result in an employee being absent from work. Recordable injury frequency is the sum of lost-time and medical aid injuries per 200,000 hours worked.

II

Any externally hired regular full-time or regular part-time employee whose permanent start date falls within the period being reported.

JJ

KK

The employee and family assistance program is a confidential counselling service available to employees and their families. In 2009, statistics do not include Refining & Marketing (R&M) U.S.A. since a different service is available to employees in the U.S. Beginning in 2011, a breakdown by Business Unit is not available.

LL

Historical data prior to 2012 is not available as this is a new GRI indicator.
